Where on earth do you folks find the time to do this?
I envy you all. I have a friend in DE I should have him
take a ride up there. I’m just scared people just showing up
Asking about this as they would have a weapon or something.
Scary stuff especially in those areas as I hear that they have bad
reputation.  The lady did seem nice enough behind a keyboard,
But then again you never know who is really behind a keyboard, aliases are not fun.
I stupidly used my name here but I see most here use aliases as well .
Could be a son, daughter…whomever.  
Keep on keepin on people thank you for protecting a
brand.  
By the way anyone know Who owns the brand now anyway?
Thanks
Blaine

Hasbro owns the brand.

It didn't actually take much time to find. Throw the photo into google image search and see what pops up.  It's then easy to notice common aspects that shouldn't be there and you have links to a few of the alternative ebay accounts.  Looking at their listings, it's easy to link them together as being the same people with multiple accounts and likely all of their sticker stuff is fake - who knows how many other ebay IDs they have.   It looks like they have now sold over $5000 of D&D cards which probably took them less than 10 hours to create/sell/ship - $500+ an hour is not a bad wage.

Interesting. I did t know Hasbro owns the rights
Shouldn't someone contact Hasbro then?
Let them do the leg work, no?

I mean I’m looking at the set I got and honestly
I can’t imagine how these were made at home like
People are saying.  I even looked at the YouTube video
As Someone suggested and it doesn’t even look like the same
Quality. I dont know I by far am not an expert just a
Player from the 80s  just seems like if the person doesn’t
Have anymore it is what is was HOWEVER if I saw they
Started selling more from another account that’s a whole
Different story. Just seems too consistent with everyone here
Who knows
Thanks for the info

Blaine

Howdy backatcha

I mean, I suppose at some point my children will be
The seller of these but for now I am just a buyer
I just find it so interesting that a which hunt is going on
When reading through the thread from the start seems
It’s just so interesting to see human psychology
I am happy with mine which I previously exclaimed
However I’m wondering why not one person has stated
That they would contact Hasbro who I recently inquired
About to let them know about copywriter infringement
It just seems like a no brainer if many suspect them to be
Fakes.  Then let their legal team deal with the perpetrator
If Hasbro owns the rights to D&D now wouldn’t they be
The outlet to talk to so this doesn’t happen again
Please explain because I am a newbie

Thanks
Blaine

Having been stung by these crooks before, I thought I’d register to add to the case.

And Blaine, you don’t fool anyone. Poorly constructed sentences, pigeon English and capitals all over the paragraph structure, you’re not who you say you are either, so don’t try and protect the con artist by posting such things.

All the best

Nobody is “protecting anybody”
I’m simply just wondering why nobody is addressing the situation of
contacting the company that owns the rights to this

And secondly, when you type in this thread
And you talk text and it automatically goes
To the next line, it automatically capitalizes
The start of the next sentence
Rather than keep talking and make a paragraph readable

I just don’t understand why everybody’s looking for a fight
which is what it seems on here
Believe me, I can put boxing gloves on to in person
But again, when it comes to hiding behind the keyboard
Is the juice really worth the squeeze? Not to me, but perhaps
to you guys and more power to you

All this being said again I’ll reiterate, I’m happy with the five I bought
It’s a toy, and a fond remembrance of a past youth
But that’s the only reason I chimed in here people don’t seem to like my opinion
It’s just so strange

Blaine

PS I certainly do not speak “pigeon English“
However, typing and talk texting on this board may make it look at so

If you want to help protect or make the community aware and have an immediate impact, then you post things in places like this and let fellow collectors make their own decision.  If you want to try and shut down a seller, then sure contact Hasbro but its probably too small a fish for them to care.  This doesn't change the fact they are fakes.  

If someone wants to create this type of item for their own personal use, then can probably grab the images directly from here (or similar sites), upload them to any one of the many holographic foil card or sticker places online and get whatever they want for a few dollars - this probably takes less than 20 minutes.  If someone prefers to keep the fakes from the online sellers, then they are really out about $200 on the set.  I wish I had that kind of money to toss away a couple hundred for nothing - you must doing very well.

Blaine, there are collectors on this site with incredibly well honed-bullshit detectors, and in case you haven't already noticed there is zero tolerance for fakery. And once suspicions are raised scrutiny intensifies...


Let mirth prevail!

I appreciate all of that, I really do
I just want to know where the proof is that
They are fakes.  I personally would like to know
It even seems like someone on the board said that
If a company was trying to produce something
They would do it in lots or something of that nature
I have no clue I’m an engineer not in marketing
I’m simply saying that go to the source Harbro if you want
The correct impact
How would we even verify these as non fakes

Blaine,

Why don't you introduce yourself under the following post:

Introduce Yourself, Fellow Collectors

Provide us with some details on yourself.  You kind of jumped into The Acaeum without letting us know much about you.  What do you collect specifically?  Maybe you can provide some pics of some of your collection?

In regard to your commentary on the stickers, maybe you can check out your stickers and look for the telltale signs that they are modern-day fakes.  Since you have a complete set, you could post some pics of the front and back of the stickers, so we could look at them in more detail.  That would be most helpful to the community.  You could also compare them to some of the other stickers that have similar labels and markings.

Hello dbartman

My name is Blaine. Again I’m new to the site.
I happen to stumble upon this discussion in what
I thought was an open forum but crucifixion seems
To be a common trait here for people that have other
Opinion.  As for what I collect or have collected it has
been mostly figures although I still have my original
books and modules my favorite of which is white plume mountain
As that was one of the first campaigns, I went on when I was
new to dungeons and dragons who could forget
Wave, Whelm and the Black Razor and fighting off a vampire to get it
I hope that clarifies things for you on my end
My children now have my figures in their room

Blaine

Wow, that's a lot of miniatures!  Have you been collecting these for a long time?  Are these from the 70's and 80's?  They look nicely done.

They were mostly from 80s (I think). My friends and I painted them
Meticulously over years. Some later ones thrown in there and my kids got
Into them as well.  Was the best hobby

Those minis seem really cool, Blaine. Good for you to share. Which ones are more recent? I'd love a few more pics of those you painted, as we appreciate good handicraft.

Going back to the fakes, let's inventory them since they had numbers at the back. Would you be able to share some pics too since you got a set?
